Yes take away their copy of FrontPage any text editor works a lot better,
point them to Google for tutorials and make them check their work at
http://validator.w3.org/ for HTML and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
for CSS, regularly.

At present there is no way you will get the results you want with the rrors
that are in the page and with the Doctype you are using.
